2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
